The emblem of Senria (Senrian: 썬류우노꼬꾸쏘우, Senryuu no kokusou or 썬류우노꼬꾸쏘우, Senryuu no mon) consists of a stylized water caltrop flower. Derived from the mon of Hyouzaemon Nabesima, a rounin who played a leading role in the Kyoutoku Rebellion and subsequently became a Senrian folk hero, the motif was also used as a party emblem by the early Kyouwakai. The current version, with both the area behind the flower and the outer hexagon depicted in cobalt blue, was proclaimed as the emblem of the Senrian Republic in 1918, replacing the plum blossom mon of the Senrian Empire.
The emblem of Senria is depicted upon the country's flag. In addition to its official emblem, Senria also has an official seal.
